next two
These two show the barrel and how it's pitted from what must be rust. My Dad has never done any restoration on this since he found it . He figures that he took it apart to see what was wrong with it (no firing pin) after he found it in the creek in Belgium, and cleaned the rust and dirt off with the same oil and rag that he used on his army issued 45 and rifle. He never used and steel brushes or wool on it. Inside the barrel is fairly clean with no pits. I think it could actually fire with a firing pin. I don't have any special desire to fire it and perhaps damage something, or myself!
